AI Summary
-
Requires employers to provide written notice to workers at least 30 days before deploying an automated decision system (ADS) for employment-related decisions, including details about data collected, quotas measured, and the system's creator
-
Prohibits employers from using ADS to violate labor laws, infer protected status, identify workers exercising legal rights, or rely solely on ADS for discipline, termination, or deactivation decisions—human review is required when ADS is primarily used for such decisions
-
Bans employers from using customer ratings as the only or primary input data for ADS making employment-related decisions
-
Grants workers the right to request a copy of their personal data used by ADS for discipline or termination decisions (limited to one request per 12 months) and protects workers from retaliation for exercising rights under the bill
-
Authorizes enforcement by the Labor Commissioner or public prosecutors, with a $500 civil penalty per violation, and allows collective bargaining agreements to waive these provisions if they explicitly provide algorithmic management protections
